🆚 Astro vs. Next.js

Astro is a web build tool optimized for creating fast, content-driven websites using server-rendered HTML and an Islands architecture for partial hydration.

It supports UI components from React, Vue, Svelte, and other frameworks, includes built-in content collections with type safety, ships zero JavaScript by default, and provides incremental content caching with flexible deployment modes, including hybrid static and SSR output.

Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications that offers server-side rendering, static site generation, file-based routing, and built-in API routes.

It also supports incremental static regeneration (ISR) to update static pages without full rebuilds, automatic image optimization, fast refresh during development, and built-in TypeScript support.
